one of the exercises in my find your eye journey is to photograph something that is unfamiliar. To photograph something new. Normally, i take pictures of landscapes or people. This time I have chosen to take pictures of architecture. It is not something that i would normally photograph although I don't mind to do it, when I do. I recently took a trip down to the city of Sydney. Whilst I was there I managed to get a few shots that I find interesting. I didn't get to take as many as I would have liked for this exercise as I was with a few others & the timing was not great for it. I would love to repeat this exercise when I have some more time so I can explore it more deeply. I took shots from a number of different angles, front on, straight up, full image of the structure or parts of it. I mostly found I was drawn to the contrast of old & new, images looking up to the sky with lots of sharp edges & lines. When I compare the images to my inspiration file, I notice the same themes of line, tone & space.

Oooooh, these are great Chelle. I see the line, tone and space that you are talking about. I am drawn in by the space! I would never guess that you don't photograph architecture on a regular basis, from looking at these. Wonderful, creative captures. I especially love the last one, the lines of that bridge are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteChelle these are amazing!! I Love the bottom three. Lines are a favorite of mine also, with open space being a new idea for me. After seeing how well you captured it I might try it too! You've inspired me! Thanks for sharing your eye. Beverly
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Chelle. My favourites are the first one because of the lovley colours and I like the third shot because of all the lovely shapes of the windows and the greenish-blue reflections.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!! You make me want to get out and play with my camera!! I love the angles and the composition of your photos!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Chelle, particularly the first lovely colour of the stonework and the last with cables on the bridge. You have captured some excellent angles.Great work.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love everyone of your photos! Looks like you also enjoyed yourself.

Hi, Chelle,
ReplyDeleteThese are spectacular! You captured so much energy in each shot, with the verticals and looking up...I especially love the last one - it's just amazing!
